Anna Buford & Luke Nguyen
May 25, 2024
Anna Buford and Luke Nguyen first crossed paths at Amherst College, where they were both student-athletes. Their love story in the making was put on hold when Luke left to study abroad, but upon his return, the pair reconnected and officially started their relationship. After Luke proposed four years later at Flippen Park in Dallas, Anna knew immediately where she wanted to host their celebration. “I’d always seen weddings at Arlington Hall—I grew up down the street—so I really wanted to get married there,” Anna says. “I think it’s really classic and Southern.” On May 25, 2024, they celebrated their “I do’s” at a garden party awash in pastel greens, blues, and, in a nod to their alma mater’s color, purple.
The One
Anna initially struggled to find a dress that felt like her. But she fell in love with this Georgia Young gown and veil as soon as she saw them.
Sweet Treat
Anna and Luke’s cake featured a vanilla base with raspberry filling and was embellished with flowers in the wedding’s color scheme.
Ruff Stuff
Anna and Luke snuck a few photos with their beloved pup, Milo—whom they got just six months prior to getting engaged.
